Thumbs down Bellhousing leaking again

Ok so, XJ had no reverse swapped trans... New trans started leaking from bellhousing, no problem. Replaced pump seal and torque converter seal... Started leaking 1 mile later.. wtf... So I'm going to try to use my old torque convertor. And go from there. I have no idea what else could be leaking. Any input would be swell...

It's cherry red

I was considering it was the bushing... What are the odds, are they a pretty common failure point on a trans with under 80k miles?

Nothing is a common failure point on an AW4 with under 80K miles.

See that's my issue :/ I pulled the trans from my buddy's jeep. That had around 76k.... Now all of this nonsense. I harvest my old trans pump and torque convertor. So I'm going to go ahead and throw those on my leaking trans... And see if that changes anything. Unless someone has a walk through on the front pump bushing. That's the only thing I haven't done on the transmission. front half anyway.
